PREFACE Thank you very much for purchasing the JRC river radar equipment, JMR-611. This equipment is a river radar equipment designed to obtain safe operation of ships. This equipment consists of a radar signal processing unit, a LCD display unit and a scanner unit as its main units.
BEFORE OPERATION Meanings of Pictorial Indication Various pictorial indications are included in this manual and are shown on this equipment so that you can operate them safely and correctly and prevent any danger to you and / or to other persons and any damage to your property during operation.
PRECAUTIONS DANGER Never conduct inspection or repair work of equipment components. Inspection or repair work by uncertified personnel may result in fire hazard or electrocution. For inspection and repair work of equipment components, consult with our branch office, branch shop, sales office, or our distributor in your district. When conducting maintenance, make sure to turn the main power off.
Page 6
When conducting maintenance work, make sure to turn off the power and unplug the power line of the processor so that the power supply to the equipment is completely cut off. Some equipment components can carry electrical current even after the power switch is turned off and conducting maintenance work without unplugging the power connector may result in electrocution, equipment failure, or accidents.
Page 7
Turn off the main power before cleaning the equipment. Especially, make sure to turn off the indicator if a rectifier is used. Otherwise, equipment failure, or death or serious injury due to electric shock may result, because voltage is outputted from the rectifier even when the radar is not operating.
Page 8
A malfunction may occur if the power in the ship is instantaneously interrupted during operation of the radar. In this case, the power should be turned on again. Normally, use the automatic tune mode. Use the manual tune mode only when best tuning is not possible in the automatic tune mode due to deterioration of magnetron.
Page 9
Take off your wrist watch when bringing your hands close to the magnetron. Otherwise, your watch may be damaged because the magnetron is a strong magnet. Two or more persons shall replace the liquid crystal monitor. If only one person does this work, he may drop the LCD, resulting in injury. Even after the main power source is turned off, some high voltages remain for a while.
Page 10
Safety Cautions Cautions for High Voltage High voltages, ranging from several hundreds to tens of thousands volts, are used in electronic apparatus, such as radio and radar instruments. These voltages are totally harmless in most operations. However, touching a component inside the unit is very dangerous.

4.3 MEASUREMENT BY EBL AND VRMS MEASUREMENT BY TRACKBALL Procedures Make sure of the target echoes on the radar display. Move the CURSOR mark to a target by the trackball. CURSOR on the radar display indicates the bearing and range of the target. The range is a distance from own ship’s position.
Page 120
MEASUREMENT BY RANGE RINGS Procedures Press [RANGE RINGS] key. The Range Rings will appear on the radar display. The range between the target and own ships can be determined by visually measuring the target’s position that lies between two range rings. In this case, the distance interval of The Range Rings is 1km.

5.1 RADAR WAVE WITH THE HORIZON The radar operator has a role of interpreting the radar displays to provide his best aid in maneuvering the ship. For this purpose, the operator has to observe the radar displays after fully understanding the advantages and disadvantages that the radar has.
Page 126
D (nm) Height of Target Height of Radar Scanner Detective Range Figure 5.2 When the height of own ship’s scanner is 10 m for instance, A target that can be detected at the radar range of 64 nm on the radar display is required to have a height of 660 m or more.
5.2 STRENGTH OF REFLECTION FROM THE TARGET STRENGTH OF REFLECTION FROM THE TARGET The signal intensity reflected from a target depends not only on the height and size of the target but also on its material and shape. The echo intensity from a higher and larger target is not always higher in general. In particular, the echo from a coast line is affected by the geographic conditions of the coast.
SEA CLUTTERS In addition to the echo required for observing ships and land radar video image also includes unnecessary echo, such as reflection from waves on the sea surface and reflection from rain and snow. Reflection from the sea surface is called "sea clutter," and reflection from rain and snow is called "rain and snow clutter," and those spurious waves must be eliminated by the clutter rejection function.
Page 129
5.3 SEA CLUTTERS [II] Rain and snow clutter Rain and snow clutter is a video image that appears in a location where rain or snow is falling. The image changes according to the amount of rain (or the amount of snowfall). As precipitation increases, the image of rain and snow clutter becomes intensified on the radar display, and in the case of localized heavy rain, an image similar to the image indicating land is displayed in some cases.
FALSE ECHOES The radar observer may be embarrassed with some echoes that do not exist actually. These false echoes appear by the following causes that are well known: Shadow When the radar scanner is installed near a funnel or mast, the echo of a target that exists in the direction of the funnel or mast cannot appear on the radar display because the radar beam is reflected on the funnel or mast.
Page 131
5.4 FALSE ECHOES [IV] False Echo by Multiple Reflection When there is a large structure or ship with a high vertical surface near own ship as shown in Figure5.7, multiple refection returns may appear on the radar display. These echoes appear in the same intervals, of which the nearest echo is the true echo of the target.
Page 132
[VI] Radar Interference When another radar equipment using the same frequency band as that on own ship is near own ship, a radar interference pattern may appear on the radar display. This interference pattern consists of a number of spots which appear in various forms. In many cases, these spots do not always appear at the same places, so that they can be discriminated from the target echoes.
5.5 DISPLAY OF RADAR TRANSPONDER DISPLAY OF RADAR TRANSPONDER (SART) The SART (Search and rescue Radar Transponder) is a survival device authorized by the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System), which is used for locating survivors in case that a distress accident occurs at sea.
